§ Mr. Nigel JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what assessment he has made of the impact on soccer in England of UEFA's proposed ban on multi-club ownership. [52332]
§ Mr. BanksI appreciate the concern about the potential impact of the ruling, and it is very important that the integrity of football competitions is not undermined. The football authorities are best placed to decide how far the new ruling is required to ensure fair competition, and pursue as necessary with UEFA. I am discussing the implications with interested parties.
